| Spring The sap is running! |
Collecting sap is a job for the whole family. At the beginning of the season, this requires a snowmobile and snowshoes; later we use an ATV and mud boots. Once the sap arrives at the saphouse we begin boiling. Our wood-fired evaporator is fed throughout the night to keeping the sap actively boiling. When it's ready, we draw off fresh Maine Sugarworks pure maple syrup. The sweet-scented steam draws many friends who like the smell and taste of hot maple syrup on a frosty night! The kids love when we boil the syrup down and dribble it on snow to make maple taffy. |
